Status bar
The status bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen during gameplay and shows the player's status. It is a key component of the game's heads-up display interfaces. The status bar can be removed from the screen by maximising the viewport, although it will remain visible in automap mode. In the very first alpha version of Doom, the status bar framed the entire screen and was a visual representation of the player character's visor. The status bar is present in Doom and Doom II, as well as its console ports, which nonetheless feature different designs depending on the port. The status bar was removed in Doom 64 in favor of a more streamlined HUD interface, an option which is also offered by most popular source ports.
